Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I just wanted to answer "Is #910434 fixed in sid?" but the changelog
entry is inconclusive ...


 spamassassin (3.4.2-1~deb9u1) stretch; urgency=high

 * lots of changes

 spamassassin (3.4.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium

 * lost of changes
 ...


I would rather have liked to see something


 spamassassin (3.4.2-1~deb9u1) stretch; urgency=high

 * Rebuild for stretch.
 * With this additional change.

 spamassassin (3.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=high

 * lots of changes

 spamassassin (3.4.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium

 * lost of changes
 ...


IMO, a 1.2-3~debXuY changelog stanza should always be accompanied by a 
1.2-3 changelog stanza, so that implies using -v$currentversioninstable

Perhaps lintian could nag a bit about this ...
maybe similar to "backports changes missing"
